how to activate MTS blackberry 8330 on TELUS?

Question by Jay: how to activate MTS blackberry 8330 on TELUS?
I bought it used and the guy said it was “unlocked” according to TELUS its not. Its the CDMA version. MTS says the phone is good to go on their network. The esn (both hex and dec) are invalid when attempting to use the TELUS web activation and OTA doesnt work at all. The phone still only connects to MTS network. How do I change this?

Best answer:

Answer by telusguyYou can’t. CDMA phones are not (and can’t be) locked. Each Canadian carrier will only activate a phone that was originally purchased from them. It will only work on MTS.
